This is a new drumcarder model with a 20cm wide drum. It is available with 72TPI and 120TPI cloth, with the 72TPI density being the most versatile for those working with medium wools, and the 120TPI being better for finer fibres (merino wools, alpacas, etc). This model offers a packing brush as an optional accessory. During the carding process, the brush compacts the fibres into the pins of the main drum, increasing the batt's density. Drum carders make the fibre carding process a much faster, easier and more convenient task. They can be used to prepare carded fibres for spinning and felting, for example.

* What does "TPI" mean?TPI refers to "teeth per inch." The TPI defines the density of the teeth on the card cloth. A denser cloth will have more teeth per unit of surface area and will be more suitable for carding finer wools. A less dense cloth has fewer teeth and is better suited for thicker wools.
